The 2022 Annual President’s Address “Accelerating change for the public good: Expanding the role of public research universities”

Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s Annual President’s Address. Our university creates impact for the public good in countless ways, and we have the power to expand and accelerate that impact at an even greater scale.

The 2016 University of Washington Annual President’s Address: For Washington and the World

When I get asked what my vision for the University of Washington is, I have a ready answer: I want this university to be the number one university in the world in terms of impact. I’m going to take this opportunity to talk about that impact – on our state, nation and our world. Above all, on our collective future.
